MVP Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I got my FX5 the other day, primed first time, it has'nt missed a beat. Very flash filter im impressed!! Just dont bother getting one from Canberra over priced to buggery , I found one shop who sells them cheaper than $400 but you need to wait for them to order them in for you. PM for details. I actually bought mine off ebay from a guy in canberra and was the cheapest price going around at the time at 350... bout 12 months ago... I've only had it running since feb 07 and has had one clean shes running nicely on a 6 x 2 x 2 with mainly south american fish. Has also been thru about 6 power outages in that time... Hasnt missed a beat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
